Right ventricular mass and isoforms of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in PTU and PO hearts
| PTU (n = 10) | PO (n = 9) | |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage cTnT2 | 0.98 ± 0.013 | 2.29 ± 0.025 * |
| Percentage cTnT3 | 5.19 ± 0.93 | 5.33 ± 0.87 |
| Percentage cTnT4 | 93.83 ± 0.95 | 92.38 ± 0.86 |
| Wall thickness (mm) | 1.87 ± 0.09 | 2.84 ± 0.13 * |
| Wall mass (g) | 0.62 ± 0.04 | 1.14 ± 0.15 * |
cTnT values are expressed as a percentage of total cTnT, means ±s.e.m. Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05, Student's unpaired t test) are marked with an asterisk.
